Swimming Pool System & Installation Services

Swimming pool systems are generally divided into two main types based on how the water circulates:

• Skimmer System
  This system draws water from the surface of the pool and sends it through the filtration system. It is suitable for small to medium-sized pools and is a more budget-friendly option.
• Overflow System
  This system allows water to overflow over the edge of the pool into channels or gutters surrounding the pool. It offers a more luxurious and visually appealing appearance, but requires more space and a higher budget.

The choice of pool system depends on the pool design, budget, and available space.

Skimmer Pool:
The best choice for limited spaces. The water level is slightly below the pool edge, with built-in surface skimmers. It does not require an overflow gutter or balance tank around the pool, saving valuable space and reducing installation costs.

Beyond the essential water circulation and sanitization systems, these optional features can further enhance convenience, safety, and overall pool functionality:

• Auto Top-Up System: Maintains a consistent water level and helps protect the pump from damage caused by low water levels.
  
  
• Drainage & Overflow System: Improves water drainage and helps prevent rainwater from overflowing into surrounding areas.
  
  
• Pool Lighting: LED lighting enhances the pool’s appearance and provides safer nighttime use.
  
  
• Automatic Cleaning System: Robotic pool cleaners and In-Floor Cleaning systems reduce maintenance effort and keep the pool clean.
  
  
• Control & Automation: A centralized control panel manages all pool systems from a single point, with built-in electrical leakage protection for enhanced safety.
  
  
• Health & Entertainment Features: Options such as Spa Jets, Counter-Current systems, and Heat Pumps add comfort, exercise, and greater enjoyment to your pool.
  

J5 Swimming Pool provides comprehensive swimming pool system design and installation services. These cover plumbing, the equipment room, and automated controls to help ensure that your pool meets standards, is safe to use, and is easy to maintain. The service includes six main systems:

1. Water circulation and plumbing: Design and installation of the complete pipe network, tailored to the pool layout and suitable for either an overflow or skimmer system.

2. Equipment room and pumps: Planning an equipment room that is safe and easy to maintain, with pumps and valves sized to suit the pool’s water capacity.

3. Water filtration: Installation of a suitable filter, such as a sand or cartridge filter, to remove debris effectively.

4. Sanitization and water treatment: A choice of a saltwater system that is gentler on the skin or an automated chlorine and chemical dosing system, depending on your budget.

5. Lighting and electrical equipment: Installation of underwater LED lights for appearance and safety, along with a control panel that can automate operating schedules.

6. Optional systems: Additional features can be installed as needed, such as a heat pump for water heating or spa jets for a Jacuzzi area.

The cost of installing the pool system and equipment alone starts at approximately THB 65,000 and can exceed THB 250,000. This does not include the pool structure or excavation work.

For a new pool that includes the complete concrete structure, the average budget ranges from THB 300,000 to over THB 1,500,000, depending on the pool’s size and the water treatment system selected.

• Swimming pool system installation takes place alongside construction of the concrete structure. It involves six main steps:

  1. Install underground plumbing: Lay the water supply and return lines using high-pressure PVC pipes, then pressure-test them for leaks before pouring the concrete.

  2. Install built-in pool fittings: Fit the return inlets, main drain, skimmer or overflow channel, and underwater light niches before tiling.

  3. Prepare the equipment room: Ensure the room has good ventilation and protection from flooding, and place the electrical control panel in a safe location.

  4. Assemble the equipment room system: Install and connect the main equipment, including the pump, filter tank, and chlorine or saltwater sanitization system.

  5. Install wiring and grounding: Connect the electrical equipment and install a 12V transformer for the underwater lights, along with a residual current circuit breaker and grounding for safety.

  6. Test the system and hand it over: Fill the pool, backwash the filter, and run the system to check water circulation and leaks. Adjust the water chemistry for the first time and show the homeowner how to operate the system.
